ANDREW CLUCAS

A MAGNIFICENT seventh win on the bounce has sent Services A ten points clear at the top of Spalding and District League Division Three.

Frame wins from Jason Rose (O7), Paul Quincey (R7) and Charlie Mullane (R14) sealed a 4-2 win over Consti E, making it two months without a league loss.

Consti H are now their nearest rivals, having knocked off Whittlesey C 4-2 on their own baize. Jason Houghton (scr) sealed the away win in the final frame.

It was a quiet week for breaks in the third tier, but a 22 clearance from Crowland A’s Steve Jennings (O21) was the highlight. He didn’t finish on the winning side as Tulips B beat his charges 4-2.

In the top flight, it’s pretty much as you were at the top, with leaders Pyramid F 4-2 winners at Pyramid A.

Spencer Dawkins (O49) lit up the all-club affair with a cool 42 break, while team-mate Jason Green (O56) pocketed a 27 of his own.

The big result of the week came at the bottom though, with basement boys Crowland D upsetting Long Sutton B 4-2 to win for the fist time in 2012.Richard Walker (R14) reeled off a 25 break as Crowland moved to within striking distance of safety.

Meanwhile, Division Two leaders Boundary A made it five wins on the trot to stay ahead of the rest.

They edged past friendly foes Boundary B 4-2 in an all-Deepings affair, with three of the five frames going to the final black.
